A clone of the vintage Colorsound Supa Tonebender. Essentially a Big Muff with the first set of clipping diodes removed. It uses a 3-way switch to go between Big Muff mode, Supa Tonebender mode or disengage all clipping diodes. Built on veroboard with 2N5088 silicon transistors, Panasonic caps, metal film resistors, clear/blue LED and a gold hammerite finish.
For Eric in Los Angeles, U.S.

A Violet Rams Head clone with 3-way mids switch and 3-way clip mode switch. Built with Wima caps, 2N5088 transistors, metal film resistors and shielded cable with a blue LED and blue hammerite finish.

There’s a limited run of 10 Rams Head clones available exclusively through Crush The Button. The folks at Crush The Button got in touch about the possibility of doing a limited run of these classic Big Muffs and sent me an original early V2 Rams Head to clone. The pedal looked to be a ‘Marveltone’ build from ’72/’73.

As well as the usual Volume, Tone and Sustain controls, I’ve added two toggle switches for some extra versatility.
The first switch selects one of 3 tone options:
1. stock setting, the classic scooped mids Big Muff sound.
2. flat, flattens the EQ response with a small mid boost.
3. peaked mids, adds more low/mid boost, great for cutting through any mix.

The second switch selects one of 3 clipping options:
1. stock setting, with both sets of diodes engaged.
2. bypasses the first set of diodes, which allows a lot of low end through and is great for bass players.
3. bypasses both sets of diodes, less clipped sound and a huge boost in output level.

It’s built on vero with 2N5088 silicon transistors, 1N419 silicon diodes, Panasonic film caps, metal film resistors, polarity protection, power filtering and shielded cable to reduce hum and noise, Switchcraft jacks, true bypass switching, a bright white LED, genuine Daka-ware knobs and finished in a durable silver vein powdercoat. Signed and numbered 1 to 10.

Sold Out.
